some movie clips from the films at the Sundance film festival
It's been nearly 14 years since Pulp Fiction re-popularized and
re-mythologized the hitman for its generation, and through this time, cinema has
seen more than its share of men (and sometimes, rarely, women) executing people
for money.
In Bruges was filmed on location; Bruges (pronounced “broozh”), the
most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming
destination for travellers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray (Colin
Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), it could be their final destination; a
difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by
their London boss Harry (two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) to go and
cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a couple of weeks. Very much
out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the
two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. Ray, still haunted by
the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly
eye on Ray’s often profanely funny exploits, finds his mind and soul being
expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city. But the longer they stay
waiting for Harry’s call, the more surreal their experience becomes, as they
find themselves in weird encounters with locals, tourists, violent medieval art,
a dwarf American actor (Jordan Prentice) shooting a European art film, Dutch
prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray in the form of Chloë (Clémence Poésy),
who may have some dark secrets of her own. And when the call from Harry does
finally come, Ken and Ray’s vacation becomes a life-and-death struggle of
darkly comic proportions and surprisingly emotional
consequences.
"American Teen" Movie Trailer
Jake Tusing, whose goal his senior year at Warsaw High
in a small town in Indiana is to finally find a girlfriend, is among the
teens featured in the documentary "American Teen." American
Teen is the touching and hilarious Sundance
hit that follows the lives of four teenagers - a jock, the popular girl,
the artsy girl and the geek -- in one small town in Indiana through their
senior year of high school. We see the insecurities, the cliques, the
jealousies, the first loves and heartbreaks, and the struggle to make
profound decisions about the future. Filming daily for ten months,
filmmaker Nanette Burstein (ON THE ROPES, THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE)
developed a deep understanding of her subjects. The result is a film that
goes beyond the enduring stereotypes of high school to render complex
young people trying to find their way into adulthood.
Kim Rivers and Scott Roberts in a scene from
“Trouble The Water,” the documentary that won the Grand Jury Prize at the
2008 Sundance Film Festival.
Sundance handed out some frozen bon-bons to end the festival, including the
Grand Jury Prize in documentary to “Trouble
the Water” with the dramatic nod going to “Frozen
River.” It was
a big week for the “Trouble the Water,” the remarkable documentary directed
by Tia Lessen and Carl Deal that traced the human and natural consequences of
Hurricane Katrina. An audience favorite, the premier included a remarkable
appearance by a very pregnant Kimberly Roberts, the subject of the documentary
who used a vid cam to chronicle her trip through the hurricane and it’s
aftermath.
The day after last Sunday’s premier, Monday, she gave birth to Skyy
Kaylen Rivers Roberts, born a survivor and now a winner by proxy.
“Frozen
River” charted the relationship of a trailer mom and a Mohawk Indian girl as
they teamed up to smuggle illegals from the Canada to the United States.
